The Solomon Amendment

The Solomon Amendment, a federal law, mandates that institutions receiving certain federal agency funding must fulfill military recruitment requests for access to campus and for lists containing student recruitment information. Failure to comply may result in the loss of federal funding including various forms of federal student aid.

The Solomon Amendment allows personally identifiable student information to be released to recruiters that would have been denied them under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). The Solomon Amendment supersedes FERPA. Solomon is based on the definition of "Student Recruitment Information."
